  • Publication number: 20230326749
    Abstract: In a semiconductor manufacturing method, a mask is disposed on a semiconductor layer or semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor layer or semiconductor substrate is etched in an area delineated by the mask to form a cavity. With the mask disposed on the semiconductor layer or semiconductor substrate, the cavity is lined to form a containment structure. With the mask disposed on the semiconductor layer or semiconductor substrate, the containment structure is filled with a base semiconductor material. After filling the containment structure with the base semiconductor material, the mask is removed. At least one semiconductor device is fabricated in and/or on the base semiconductor material deposited in the containment structure.

  • Patent number: 11094147
    Abstract: A system includes detecting devices secured respectively on wheels of a vehicle at different angular positions, sensors assigned respectively to the wheels and a control unit. Each detecting device emits a detecting signal when disposed at a first position and a second position different from the first position by a first angle. The first position where each detecting device emits the detecting signal during a current rotation cycle of the respective wheel differs from that during a next rotation cycle of the respective wheel by a second angle. The control device analyzes the detecting signals and tooth number signals from the sensors to associate the detecting devices respectively with the sensors.
